Sparkling Korea: Jeju

Jeju is very pretty, but it's very hard to travel around by yourself, as the sights are all far apart, and there's only a bus network.

Hence, I recommend signing up with a tour group e.g. Yeha Tour. http://www.yehatour.com. I did both their East Course and West Course. You can either stay at their guesthouse or ask for pickup at another hotel. And at the end of the tour, you can request to be dropped off at the Teddy Bear Museum or any other places. The tour was quite good, and they don't bring you to any jade/ tea factories. Instead, they really just bring you to pretty places, give you sufficient time to wander about and take photos. And the tour guides buy you ice-cream! So cute! Haha.

I just checked the website and it's about KRW80,000 for a day tour (either East or West Course). Prices have increased! When I went on the tour 1 year ago, I think it was only about KRW50,000.



The old Yeha guesthouse was really pretty! A bungalow set in a very pretty garden, with swings! This photo was taken on a super rainy last day, where flights out of Jeju were cancelled. Luckily mine was in the late afternoon and didn't get cancelled. The Yeha guesthouse has since moved to a town area, which has both pros and cons. Pro is that it's much more accessible (the old one was REALLY ulu). Con is that it doesn't have the pretty garden anymore.

Some sights on the tour...





The "All in" house, I think. I didn't watch the series...
